No one who knows seems to be really helping Jordan, unless it's via PM. He's been trying for a week - how can we resolve this for him? I can't, I'm no Ventrilo expert, I set mine up as described in the instructions and it worked.

I'm at a loss at what else to try right now. :-\Jordan,are you using a router to share an internet connection?Be sure when typing the IP you leave no spaces,just numbers and dots.You can try this for the hostname/ip beemaster.instantvent.net

If you want,you can try this IP just to see if you can connect:68.63.109.5 but you need port number 3784

When everything is setup the screen should say:MSG: Server is Available.Press Connect

Well, I just installed Ventrilo on this laptop and followed the directions in this thread and had no problem connecting, so I too am at a loss as to why people are having problems. Johnnybigfish has pm'd me about the same issue. I wonder if he's on dialup also???

Hey Jordan!I got mine working after dfisabling my firewall(S)..Two of them! One firewall was in my norton internet security..I clicked on the icon in the bottom tray, went to the firewall setting which was right there in the list as soon as you open the norton deal, and i turned it off....Then i went to the control panel and turned off the Firewall in the firewall setting box..to find the firewall box you have to look at the control panel in the "Classic" view...you change to "Classic" view in the column at the left. At least THIS is what I THINK got me onto ventrilo.your friend,john

I forgot to tell you....I had really slow dial up last time I got into ventrilo...But I still got in...I could type but couldnt hear people well..I didnt have a mic. back then either. I have a mic. now, just got it awhile ago.....But I'm afraid I might put my eye out with it!Its about a foot tall!your friend,john

okI have another problem i tried opening norton but it just went to outline of it at first and did nothing and then i tried to log off and restart and it just kept going back to the main window so i pushed the button on the front of the computer and it shut down and turned back on and i tried it again and now norton dont even come up and it wont let me log off again so i shut it down.
